I am not a Christian. Honestly, I have no idea where I'm going. Maybe just in the ground, but maybe Hell if Christians are right. Considering the way I am treated by Christians, God is an unfeeling being who cares not for my feelings. Considering the last statement I made, I can therefore make this statement: Because there is either not a God or an unfeeling God who doesn't care, I can do whatever I want and there will never be any negative consequences.
I am a Christian. I am going to Heaven. God loves me no matter what. The Bible tells me to love others and do unto them whatever I want them to do to me. This includes people that may or may not treat me right. Because of the last two statements, I can make another statement that would be just as true: God wants me to love others. This includes those who do not claim to have the love of God surrounding them.
I am not a Christian. I am either going to Hell or just in the ground after I die. Considering the way I am treated by Christians, and the things I've heard of in the Bible, the people who claim to be Christians may or may not be true Christians.
If God is love and God commands his people to be love, why would his people ever ever treat other people, especially those who do not have Jesus in their life, like they're worth less than nothing? Why would anyone who claims to be a Christian abuse, misuse, or bully another human, without thinking about the feelings of the person they are hurting? And why do no adults try to help? Especially the adults who claim to be Christians?
It's called bullying. Whether the person being bullied says that it's bullying or not, God has laid out something to help people understand better what they should and shouldn't do to others. In one very simple verse. Luke 6:31.
And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. KJV
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you NIV
Here is a simple rule of thumb for behavior: Ask yourself what you want people to do for you; then grab the initiative and do it for them! The Message
Treat others as you want them to treat you. The Living Bible
And as you desire that men should do to you, do to them likewise. Jubilee Bible.Need more be listed? Five different translations, yet they all pass along the same message. If you are the Christian, you are the example. If the world sees you acting like the world, they will think that you are no different from them. They will think that there is no reason for them to become Christians...because Christians are no different. And when they think they way it was shown in the first paragraph...they are 100% correct.
